For me, who didn't get car sickness or anything from my childhood, my inner job in the carriage (alchemy) was just a good time.
Iron ore turns into iron balls one after the other, and with that, the level of apprenticeship alchemists increases.
It's level 14 now.
When I reached apprenticeship alchemist level 10, I learned my metal appraisal skills.
It seems that metal appraisals also apply to processed equipment, such as weapons and protective equipment.
[Steel: alloys of iron and carbon. produced by intermediate alchemists]
and it showed up when I saw the steel sword. Also, there were five more recipes.
They showed me the Fire Dragon Tooth Sword, but I couldn't appraise it because it wasn't metal, and when they showed me the short sword, I found it was made of iron.
By the way, the goblin sword seems to be a special metal called goblin iron.
"You're a demon metal. They say metal that has continued to bathe in the blood of many demons can mutate. But that's rarely the case, and the majority of the demonic metals out there in the world are those dropped by demons in the labyrinth. They say if the level of alchemists increases, they can also combine demon metals to create new demon metals. It's called a magic alloy."
"Heh, Caro is familiar... so is goblin iron precious iron?
"No, it's not precious because all the goblin iron bars Hobgoblin drops are goblin iron. It's said to be slightly weaker than ordinary iron, so pure iron is worth more."
"... Oh, yeah"
Too bad.
MP was below half too, so I decided to take a break for now.
I can't even swing bare in the carriage, and I need an MP to improve my magic proficiency.
"It would be nice to have medicines that can easily restore MP."
"The mana potion has been bought up and is very valuable."
Aristocrats and rich people buy up mana potions.
You think by using mana potion and using magic, you're going to raise the level?
So they have many rich sons who are leading magicians, magicians and alchemists.
"Buy up... Buy up is not good."
When I squealed like that, Hal, who was sitting in your seat, joined the conversation.
"Right. Adventurer Alliances don't buy materials from non-adventurers because of merchant buyouts."
Once, in the absence of an Adventurer Guild, the merchants hired adventurers and collectors individually to collect medicinal herbs and demonic materials.
But an adventurer who didn't know the market was seen in the footsteps and wanted to buy them pretty cheap.
An Adventurer Alliance has been launched to protect the status of such adventurers.
Then, this time, the merchant did not think well of it, and bought up the potions, etc. needed by the adventurer.
He was a merchant trying to sell for several times the normal price, but no one on the adventure bought potions, he started an unpurchase movement.
That's when the great outbreak of demons occurred, and many of the adventurers who fought that demon died.
He also said there were a lot of things that would have been helped if there had been potions.
Then, you think the Adventurer Guild started eliminating merchants and the pharmacists who were making potions, and eventually not buying materials from non-adventurers?
"Most of all, it was over three hundred years ago, and now the Pharmacist Guild and the Adventurer Guild are much easier because they have quite a friendship. The Adventurer Alliance is silent on the way out for your husband to sell me material on his behalf."
It's also convenient to raise the level of a production-based profession, considering you've only been raising the level of a combat-based profession until now, but living a life without fighting.
At least, it doesn't look like your life's in danger.
Yeah, but Hal seems to prefer a fighting life.
The carriageway continues, but the gradient is getting a little steeper.
Looks like we're on a mountain road.
Living in Japan, mountains feel like trees thrive, but this is like a rocky mountain, with grass, flowers, and tall trees, but no tall trees.
I guess this is what Mount Fuji looks like.
Once my family had talked about climbing Mount Fuji to the fifth place, but Miri was resolutely reluctant to climb Mount Fuji, so I remembered that the trip to Mount Fuji had been cancelled and turned into a trip to Hamamatsu to eat eel.
Well, now that I think about it, I can also convince you of the millimetre idea that Mount Fuji is what you see and not what you climb, but that was the first and last time you saw the millimetre that made you so solid.
"We have an accomodation village ahead of us, so stay there today and go to the labyrinth tomorrow"
"Oh, is this Mount Gomaki? Hal, can you see the village?
"No, I don't see the village yet. But the smell of life is approaching, so I thought it was time to see it."
"Smell of life?
It's not like the smell of humans?
"The smell of burning firewood, the smell of baking bread, it's the scent that people live in."
Is that what you mean?
Hal has a really good nose.
She's right, the village has looked so lost since then.
Unlike floors and verasuras, it seems to be a really small village with a population of about twenty people named Gomaki Village.
They're using the mountain name as it is.
They say the border town with Dacat in the southeast, the border town with Korat in the southwest, it takes two days by carriage from here, whichever way you go, so travelers and pedestrians looking to both countries are staying here.
That means you're going to be in the wild the night after tomorrow as you go to the labyrinth and go home and stay.
There was a line of carriages at the entrance to the village. Everything seems to be caravan, a caravan of caravans who aspire to floorlance.
They're also putting their luggage in the carriage, so they're stopping over there without stopping at the stables.
There was a stables, and I decided to keep the horses there.
I haven't thought about the horse's name yet.
In the meantime, Hal pushed the horse, just in case it didn't burst, and the three of us got out of the carriage.
Incidentally, the cost of keeping the carriage was ten cents by the morning after tomorrow, and the cost of keeping the horse was apparently determined by the horse's race, and the white horse - now I know it's a race called Arkhose - was fifty cents (including bait).
A total of 60 cents, six bundles of ten copper coins are given to receive a deposit card.
"And you're a fine horse. It's very different from this morning's usual slough donkey."
The old man with the brown hair at the stables leaked that feeling when he saw the white horse.
"Slowdonkey?"
"Oh, strange men and women visited this morning and left it here. It's a small but really good eating slough donkey. I left the village after noon and ate half of the straw that was in the stables. This is a big deficit."
Definitely, it's Joffrey and Elise.
Did those guys go straight on the journey yesterday without staying at the inn?
What tough guys.
But I'm sure you keep smiling, even on such a hard journey.
"Didn't they say where they were going?
"Come on, he said he was going south."
"Really?"
I had a feeling I'd see you again, but you're going to see me real soon.
Well, we're spending the day here, and I don't think we can catch up right away.
"By the way, is there anything special here?
"Oh, the stew with goat's milk and flour is excellent. If I go to the inn, they'll feed me if they don't want to."
"Really, thank you"
Goat milk stew?
Yeah, I knew I had to get a good taste of the specialty dishes when I said I was traveling.
It's a small village, even if it's an inn village.
There is only one inn.
There were other horses at the stables that looked like they were keeping them, so there's no way they didn't have guests.
"There you are, three? A slave can have a barn, too, but what do we do?
My aunt smiled and spoke to me.
Hal had hidden the slave collar in his scarf, but Caro's slave collar is in full view.
I know immediately that I have no offense to my aunt. Maybe it's normal in this world to ask that.
"No, in a normal room, please. Meals are all the same."
"Yes. What about the room? Do you want to make it a double room? Or do you want to put a futon in the big room? Unfortunately, the single room isn't filled."
The price of a double is thirty cents, and a large room would be fine with five cents per person. However, it seems to be in fairly narrow condition because seven people are currently using it.
Apart from the cost of meals, seven cents for dinner, and three cents for breakfast.
"Can't we have a double two room?
"I'm sorry. There's only one more room for the double. The merchants are in."
You mean "Caravan", the caravan that had stopped the carriage at the entrance to the village?
I keep watch, but not everyone sleeps in a carriage.
Well, sometimes you'll want to sleep in bed.
We had no choice, we rented a double room, and we headed to the room for now.
Even though the item bag is unavailable to others, if it's stolen, it's troublesome, so keep it with you... Well, what's up?
"Now use it with Mr. Hal and Master Ichino as Caro will let you sleep beside the bed. Mr. Hal will be tired of manipulating the carriage all day today."
"No, Caro is smaller, so Caro and your husband use the bed. I think it's easier for your husband."
"Well, take a break and I'll sleep beside the bed, so the two girls will be in bed..."
"" That's no good ""
Yeah, I thought they'd definitely say that.
Even so, how about letting a girl sleep on the floor and a guy sleep in bed?
"As it is, well, shall we think about it after we have it at dinner too? Maybe I can come up with a good idea."
That's what I said, the three of us headed to the dining room for dinner.
The stew was already prepared in a large pot. The ingredients contain just a little vegetables and no meat.
We make more from time to time, and we eat the rest ourselves and the villagers?
However, he said there would be no extra group guests in today.
The stew tasted very intense and tasted better than a stew made from milk, but the bread served together was very hard and I couldn't have eaten it without soaking it in the stew.
Hmm, but I still wish I had meat.
What a thought. Finish your meal and go back to your room.
So, I realize now that I haven't solved any problems.
Who sleeps on the floor.
The two of them are trying to come to the worst conclusion that I'm the only one who sleeps in bed and we sleep on the floor.
I can't believe I let two girls sleep on the floor on a bed with one man. That breaks my gentleman's heart.
And I can't think of a way for me to come up with a plan for sleeping on the floor.
Actually, I'm in bed phobia - so I slept in bed all the time while I was traveling with Hal.
I let you two sleep in bed on orders as my husband... I don't like being forced to use orders for that.
Yes, I shouldn't be in the position of husband and slave in the first place.
"Why don't you both stop being my slaves?
That's what I suggested to both of you.
Then - shortly afterwards, the two colors blued.
Caro is so full of tears.
"... my husband, I, I am the one who will follow your husband for the rest of my life. Put it by your side."
"So is Caro! Caro wants to live like this with Master Ichino. I don't want to go away with Master Ichino."
Oh, yeah!?
Shit, that was a bad way to put it.
"Hey, wait a minute. Why don't you stop being a slave? I said, would you take off the collar of a slave, lose the relationship of subordination, and become a reciprocal companion? I just think. I'm not asking you to leave me."
I make hasty corrections.
Absolutely - you're short of words, me.
I asked him if he would stop being a slave, also because of the old lady's line at the inn earlier.
I was still unfamiliar with the custom of this world of looking down at slaves. Honestly, I was so frustrated with my aunt's line earlier. Then I thought it would be easier for me to free the two of you from slavery.
To my correction, my suggestion was rejected, although the expression on both of them was soothing.
"I am proud to be your husband's slave. This collar is a sword of loyalty, so to speak. Please let me stay."
"So is Caro. Caro has had a lot of happiness with Master Ichino. You can't take this collar off without paying me back."
Good boys. Chickshaw.
The world is wrong for these good boys to be slaves.
I want you free from slavery!
And I thought even more, what the hell am I supposed to do with this dilemma that refuses to let slaves go?
And the problem has not yet been solved.
Who sleeps in bed and who sleeps on the floor.
There's no way you can let the two of you sleep on the floor who just showed that much trust in me.
"Why don't you sleep with the three of us? I can't believe it."
That's what I said.
"Sure... the bed seems a little wider than a regular double bed"
"Caro is also small...... if you have a little space you can sleep"
... Huh? Are you serious?
You sleep with the three of us?
"" If your husband (Ichino) would like - ""
"... do you want the three of us to sleep"
My plan has been adopted.
At night - Hal on the left and Caro on the right - the dream three-person bed was completed - but naturally it can't be easy to sleep either.
I get excited when Caro hugs me like a pillow in my arm, or when my ears and nose are irritated by the colorful sleep and the unique scent of a girl that Hal occasionally gives out.
But there's Caro on the side, so it's not too late for Hal, it's just that I'm going to reveal the night with the snake alive.
The sun still does not rise.
